Wow, this is an old thread. Strangely no one seems to have picked up on the fact that bad sequels in no way ruin the original films. Just because Robocop 3 was c**p it doesn't stop Robocop from being a great film. Same goes for Superman IV, Nightmare on Elm Street 2/6, or any other trashy sequel. They might kill the franchise, but they don't affect the quality of the original films.

Exorcist II Texas Chainsaw MassacreII-IV The Godfather part III On Her Majesty's Secret Service The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions - there should be a phantom edit style job done to this and cut both films together with all the choice babble cut out.

I'm also puzzled why no one has mention any of the Disney Sequels. I don't think there was any sequel that was even close to the original in quality of the story and ect. One of my biggest peeves is how they ruined Beauty and The Beast. It was such a good movie (the only animated feature to ever be nominated for best picture) then they destroy it with the Christmas specials and Beauty and the Beast Reloaded. In the end all Disney sequels suck .

A couple more I thought of:- All sequels to Universal Soldier. Blade Trinity

With the exception of The Fugitive which was excellent and things that expanded into movies like Star Trek and the X-Files, all remakes are AWEFUL! That's just a general rule. The very notion of a remake is simply a giant billboard that advertises hollywood is out of creativity.

Want to know why I brought this discussion up? I found it on another forum and thought how fun it would be to discuss it here! O.K. how about remakes? any bad suggestions? I got one...Starksy & Hutch. Found it boring.

I'd much rather engage in a discussion than a debate. I'm still sticking by liking Alien Res. and naming Hills Have Eyes 2 as worst sequel ever. I can understand why people don't like Alien Res., but who in their right mind will debate the merits of HHE2?

Eva, I respectfully say you are WRONG. Just kidding, but seriously, NOES 3 is pretty good. Did you really mean Batman Returns or did you mean Batman Forever? I think Batman Returns was the best of the live action Batman Movies, whereas I tried to watch Batman Forever on TV the other night and I just about died laughing.

Police Academy 4 was made a stones throw away from my house. Actually most of them were, but that one more so. Plus who can knock a movie with Sharon Stone, David Spade, Tony Hawk, Wayne Gretzky's wife and the one and only Steve Guttenberg.

I disagree with all the Police Academy. I only agree with 1 and two. The rest was a waste of time. Especially on dvd when 2 through to 6 only comes out with mono stereo. What is that? Surely Warner Bros. could have taken more time to remaster them somehow. The picture was horrible too, not widescreen!

I'll admit that the new angle was fresh, and that the kid's head melting into bugs and snakes was honestly disturbing, but I just caught it again on cable a few weeks ago, and thought it was...kinda boring
